I recently installed HA (0.97.2) on a new computer and used my old configuration file from version 60 something. The install went well and all of the devices was created and display on the frontend.
Most of my devices are MQTT types with a few ZWave devices sprinkled in. The issue is when I added a new MQTT device to the configuration.yaml file. No entity entry was created and check_config did not show any error with the config file.
I did a bit of searching and found something similar to my problem. The solution was to delete .storage under .homeassistant. This did work but it did required setting up a new user account. Is there some other way of allowing new configuration.yaml entries to be recognized other than blowing away the .storage directory?
I am using the legacy password if that has anything to do with it.
